Elite Performance PR & MarketingMar 12, 2025
In honor of Women’s History Month, Dr. Amber Gunner is igniting a crucial dialogue on workplace wellness, connection, and the power of community to combat isolation and burnout. A Workplace Wellness Consultant, speaker, and advocate for psychological safety, Dr. Gunner is on a mission to shift the narrative from solitary resilience to collective empowerment—especially for women navigating high-pressure careers.
Fresh off her inspiring TEDxThirdWard talk at a sold-out event, Dr. Gunner is expanding the conversation beyond the stage, challenging outdated beliefs about success and self-sufficiency. Her message is clear: true strength is not about enduring challenges alone but about fostering genuine relationships that uplift, support, and drive impact.
Why Community Matters More Than Ever
As women continue to break barriers in leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation, many find themselves navigating these spaces alone—leading to burnout, disconnection, and mental exhaustion. Dr. Gunner, drawing from her own experience with job loss, postpartum recovery, and career reinvention, urges women to rethink what it means to be strong. "For too long, we’ve been told that strength means pushing through hardship alone," says Dr. Gunner. "But real strength lies in vulnerability, in seeking support, and in knowing that community is the antidote to burnout."
Through her CORE framework—Curiosity, Openness, Resilience, and Engagement—Dr. Gunner equips individuals and organizations with actionable strategies to cultivate inclusive environments where women feel seen, valued, and connected.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Dr. Gunner is fostering conversations around:
• How workplace loneliness impacts women’s mental health and career success
• The role of psychological safety in fostering diverse and inclusive teams
• Strategies for building stronger support networks in high-achieving environments
• The power of mentorship, sponsorship, and community in driving women’s success
Building a Future of Connection and Impact
Dr. Gunner’s movement goes beyond a single talk or event—it’s about reshaping the way women experience work, wellness, and community. She invites corporate leaders, HR professionals, and organizations to be part of this shift by fostering cultures that celebrate connection, inclusivity, and well-being. "When we prioritize community, we don’t just survive—we thrive," says Dr. Gunner. "Let’s build workplaces and networks that empower, uplift, and energize women at every stage of their journey."
